Is Big Foot ( Sasquatch ) For Real Or Is He A Bunch Of Boloney !

      I grew up in the State of Ohio, in the USA and I never heard any stories about Big Foot until I moved to the western states of the USA. I found out later that the Big Foot has been seen many times in all the states of the USA, in Canada, in South America and He has been seen in every country all over the world. In every language all over the world, each of them have a word for the Big Foot or Sasquatch which is his other name. It is interesting that all the native Indian Tribes all over the world, they each have their own word for Sasquatch that is different from all the others in their own languages. The Indians also have stories of the Big Foot that goes back to hundreds of years. Do you think that maybe the Indians made up all the these Big Foot stories because they knew that the white men would be dumb enough to believe them, that the Indians find this to be a big joke? Believe it or not most of the older Indians take this Big Foot thing very seriously. It is not a joke!
      At the company that I once worked for I would use a forklift and I would load the giant cardboard bales onto a flatbed to be hauled away. One day an Indian truck driver came to our company and wanted me to load up his flatbeds with the cardboard bales. He told me that he lived on an Indian Reservation in northern California. I asked him if the older Indians on his reservation seriously believe in the Big Foot. " Yes they do ! ".  He told me that when he was a little boy his grandfather, who was the Holy Man of the tribe, had told him this story. When his grandfather was just a young man he remembers when in the winter time when there was lots of snow on the ground, three or four Big Foots would come to the Indian village to be fed and the Indians did feed them for many winters. They very much respected these hairy creatures and they felt that the Great Spirit would help them with their everyday problems and that there would always be plenty of food all winter long. I asked him if he believes in his Grandfather's story. He said that he does because his grandfather does not lie. I asked him if he believes in the Big Foot and he said: " No I do not because I have not seen him. ".
      One of my good friends is a full blooded Eskimo, and she was born and raised in northern Alaska. She told me that both her Mother and Dad and many other of the fellow tribesmen have seen the Big Foot many times. They told her that he is for real and there is not just one of them but there are many Big Foots around. I asked this lady if she believes her Mom and Dad and she said: " Yes I do. My Mom and Dad have always told me the truth. ".
      One day I was riding the bus to work and my friend the mailman got on the bus and sat across from me. I was reading a book and he asked as to what I was reading. I told him the book was about the secret government projects that took place at Montauk Air Force Base in New York on Long Island. Most people think that these stories are a bunch of Boloney. It is like the subject of Big Foot. I said no one else on this bus believes in Big Foot except for you and me. There was an Indian that was sitting in front of the mailman and he turned around and said that he believed in the Big Foot. I told him that many Indians believed in this creature but why does he believe in him. He said that his brother was hunting for deer only a year ago up a canyon that was about one hundred miles away. While climbing up a hill he spooked a large hairy creature in the brush and it ran up the hill on two legs. This was the first time he had ever seen a Big Foot. I asked him if he believes his brother's story. He said: " Yes I do. My Brother Does Not Lie! ".
      One of the other bus drivers lived in western Montana, USA, for about ten years. She said that the cattle ranchers that live in western Montana area, they take the Big Foot thing very seriously. They make sure that all of their cattle are removed from the mountain ranges before the snow begins to fall. If any of the cattle are left in the mountains, the big hairy creatures will kill and eat them during the winter when food becomes hard to find and the ranchers just can not get close enough to a Big Foot to take a clean shot at him. He is " The Champion of Hide and Seek " and no one can find him.
      This same bus driver has told me that a man gets on her bus 4 or 5 times a week and she drops him off at the mouth of a canyon to where he owns some property that is not to far away. He claims that a Big Foot comes out of the canyon often and visits him at his property. He keeps coming back because the man feeds Him rejected fruits, lettuce and other vegetables that a local store gives to him. He says that the creature also loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After several months of the creature coming to visit with him the Big Foot is still very shy and He will not let the man get near him or touch him. He says the Big Foot is about 8 foot tall but he believes it to be a younger Big Foot and not the parents. He hopes that some day the creature will fully trust him.
      One of my sons got married and started his own family. His wife has two younger brothers that one day they went Deer Hunting with their Dad. None of them does any smoking or drinking and they were camping on the top of a mountain. The next morning, the two boys were looking for Deer and as they were looking down the slopes of a mountain, a Big Foot came out of the trees, and walked across the meadow, and then went back into the trees again. Both of these boys have always told the truth and their Dad does believe in their story, but there are many others who believe that they are not telling the truth.
